Any one have this or know anything about this product or other lsd's (limited slip differential). Pros, cons. Are there any other lsds out there other than this one. Does any one not a big difference when accelerating. My tires just spin a lot of the line and wanting to know if this would help with that or if it would just make it worse. Prob the crappy tires that gm gives you when you guy the car. (05 cavy). Damn 14inch Goodyear pos lol. Im not big on rims and never have been, ive just been holding out on them, going all performance wise first i know eventually ill have to get different rims and tires but for now im fine. any thoughts or comments would help thanks

you bet your arse its worth it!

everything it states, its a pro, there are very few if any cons...



gm tires in stock form arent as crappy as most thing. matter of fact, pep boys 39$ dollar tires are what you call crappy. hard as hell, but just made to last long.

theres this lsd, which i already have, and theres the team green one...

go to phantomgrip.com and read up... mines been in for over 2 years now.

alright so is that the only site then that is currently selling them or that you know of any way. Was it a pretty hard install and where there a lot of extras that you needed to do the install. overall do you like the lsd

How long does it take to install LSD? Any the page says it excerts pressure on the spider gears, I heard the spiders on the Isuzu tranny are crap. Is that a good thing?

install takes all of a few minutes... i had phantomgrip install it the first time around cause they had to use my diff to prototype the 3 speed auto.... which ironically is the same as the 4 speed.

compress the plates with springs and put the holding pins in, remove the diff dowel, insert the plates, remove the holding pins insert diff dowell, done.

isuzu tranny... cryo treat em for safety or get some specially cut would be my advice.


if i didnt like it, it wouldnt be there after 2 years.

and for sites that sell em, like said, go to phantomgrip.com

personally its easier to get a spare diff, send it to em, and have em do it if you are new to the game... the second time i installed it, i was at the tranny shop so they monitored what i was doing... i was just there to learn.
